I;ve had three major(ish) crashes in the last year. non hospitalising but definitely bruising and bleeding with the exeption of the last one which, although righting off my bike, left me completely unscathed - i just slid off the bonnet onto my feet. after each crash i start wearing a helmet again but then get lazy and don;t bother. one time, after denting the back of a van with my head, i went through a phase of wearing a full face helmet... slightly for a laugh but also i thought it just looked cool. gets well fucking hot so i screwed that idea pretty quickly. I reckon this weekend i'm going to get a bmx helmet - they make me look less like a shroomie.
